A self-employed stockbroker from Longwood reported Wednesday two men broke into his New Smyrna Beach residence, hit him over the head with a crowbar and stole cash, a cellphone and other items, police said.

Officers met with George P. Hasapes, 52, in the emergency room at Bert Fish Medical Center about 5 a.m., the incident report said.

Hasapes told the officers the men, one of whom he knows and the other, a stranger, forced their way into the 206 S. Pine St. home, on the beachside two blocks from Flagler Avenue, at about 3 a.m. and attacked him.

The report said after the men left the residence, Hasapes went to a friend's house on Goodwin Street and was driven to the hospital.

Police requested the identities of the assailants not be released pending their capture and arrest.
